What is the purpose on maxsplit here? We get the same answer without this.. no?

Ah, i guess it makes things more efficient since you really need to split the string ONCE to get the first word..

Yep, we don't need to split words of an entire book to have its first word =) You can see a few comparisons <a href="https://py.checkio.org/mission/first-word-simplified/publications/quarkov/python-3/methods-contest/share/64ed77aea71a8dd9e3fae2d9c0d41d55/#comment-71703">here</a>.
